Basicly, there is a night club full of women and a couple of blokes, and the women are having a perfectly good time, fully clothed, having a drink, and every now and then one of the blokes comes up to a girl and gets a blowjob from one or two of them, and then it cuts (I don't pay for the full version) and they're having sex, but the girls who aren't having sex are just going about their buisness as normal, just laughing and joking over a few drinks.

Pretty good thanks
Went to a gig last night, the spastics that organised the gig were unable to realise that some people would be bringing bags, and as a result, only seemed to have room for about 20 of them. Considering there was well over 1,000 at this gig, the planning was awful. This meant that I had to wear my bag throughout the gig, resulting in backache, and everyone thinking I'm even more of a cunt than I usually am.

so, in case people hadn't noticed, was Derry's "challenge"
yet people still think it should be overturned. One of them was a dubious decision that almost certainly had no bearing on the result of a game that Man U were totally in control of. One was a piece of physical assualt that could have ended a player's season if not career. Way for people to maintain a sense of perspective about the FA appeals process, don't you think?

I disagree with both decisions, as I think the contact from Derry was so utterly mininal that it shouldn't even count
However, as you say, there was contact, so there can't really be any argument against that. The Balotelli thing not being fully addressed it absolutely disgraceful, but I'm glad that Ivanovic is getting charged.

I'm with you on both decisions being poor
for certain. But the only reason that Derrys could be recinded is if there was clear evidence there was no contact, and he definitely touches him. Incidentally, it was about the same amount of contact as Brad Jones on Yakubu for the second Blackburn pen last night and no-one is whining about that, either, despite it being a gold-plated example of going down like you've been fucking shot.

It's exactly the same as DRS. There has to be grounds to say it's an incorrect decision. Tell me what they are? (they aren't reviewing the offside, because they can't. So that doesn't matter)

OK, why are they not reviewing the offside?
Surely thathas to be a part of it? If the correct call had been made in the first place it wouldn't have been a red card unless Derry had "done a Keane" and scythed him in two.
(Darth FoxtrotA one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 9:52,

of course it's not part of it.
it's two separate decisions. if you could review offside, then Wigan could demand a review of the two goals Chelsea scored.

They are reviewing whether there is CLEAR evidence that there was no foul. There isn't. You can argue all you like for "going down too easily" but Derry touched him, therefore the red stands as long as the ref stands by his interpretation that Derry is the last man and it's a clear goalscoring opportunity.
(the mighty badgerAphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 9:57,

How can it not be a part of it?
No-one has suggested reviewing offside goals because the FA will have no truck with it, and rightly so. Results have to stand regardless of errors made, once they start being retrospectively fucked with we might as well all give up. But this is QPR asking if an erroneous red card can be overturned because it was wrong on two counts. Why should only one of those counts be reviewed?
(Darth FoxtrotA one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 10:01,
Reply)

Because you are reviewing the referee's decision
not the linesmans. Being offside doesn't make it any less of a foul, so incidentally it's a penalty whether he's offside or not, but it's not a red card if he's offside because there's no goalscoring opportunity to deny.

But you can't appeal the failure to give offside, because it's a separate decision. Think of it this way - ball goes out of play but linesman doesn't see it. play goes on, ball hoofed to striker who is brought down by keeper, straight red. Do you seriously think for one second the FA would consider an appeal on the grounds that there should have been a throw-in a minute before, which would have prevented the red card happening? Of course not. It's the same situation but with a much smaller time interval, so it can't be appealed in that way. I didn't say I thought it was fair, but those are the rules. It isn't the FA being pricks, those are just the rules. It's QPR that are idiots for not knowing.

Being offside doesn't make it less of a foul, but it does mean the foul wouldn't be given
The point is that the linesman made a bad call - and it's not like Young was marginally offside, he was a good two yards - and if he'd made it correctly then the seriousness of the foul wouldn't have mattered because it couldn't have been given.
(Darth FoxtrotA one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 10:11,
Reply)

no, it could be given.
if you trip a player coming back from offside it'd still be a pen. The only cast-iron reason that him being offside would prevent the foul being given is if he'd touched the ball whilst offside before Derry fouled him. Since he didn't it's down to the vagueness of interpreting the offside law.

I do think he should have been given offside, and that should have prevented the foul mattering. But it doesn't have to. He can be in an offside position, be fouled, and be awarded a penalty without technically the linesman or the ref being incorrect.

But that's all irrelevant. You can argue all you like, there was no way for that decision to be overturned on appeal, and QPR are fucking idiots for not knowing that.

I dunno
Even if they were unfamiliar with the fact that the linesman's decision can't be reviewed - and I wasn't, and see no reason why it shouldn't be - Derry really didn't do enough to send Young tumbling like that. Minimal contact or no, the correct decision was a yellow card for simulation. You can't blame them for thinking that a review and some replays might prove that
(Darth FoxtrotA one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 10:24,

it's only simulation if there's no contact.
I don't like it any more than you, but Derry touched him, so the decision is foul or not, you can't book a player for "going down too easily"

Er, you CAN book a player for going down too easily
Obviously in an ideal world this only happens when there's no contact at all. I agree that the FA couldn't award a retrospective booking to Young based on this principle but the correct on-field decision would have been to determine that Derry hardly touched him and Young was looking for it.

Not denying that you're right about the onfield decision, although Young couldn't really have been booked, but no penalty. But that's not what I was talking about, I was just pointing out why there was no way it would be overturned.

Referee's call isn't it?
Even with contact simulation can occur. Cases liek Carroll v Newcastle, where's it's just embarrassingly obvious, are few and far between. I see what you mean as regards the FA overturning a decision on this basis, but perhaps they should assess whether the "foul" was really worthy of a penalty and therefore a red card, which it palpably wasn't. I appreciate this brings it more into the arena of opinion than is desirable.

it's impossible
I mean, you and I both know 95% that Young could have stayed on his feet. But we can't be absolutely sure, because there was contact, maybe he was really off-balance, who knows for sure? So the ref's decision about whether it's worth a foul only goes as far as giving the foul or not, it can't be used to retrospectively decide anything.
(the mighty badgerAphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 10:48,

The question will be asked though
Why is it that when reviews are conducted that they operate on such a basis? Contact or no, that wasn't a penalty. The referee may well have been influenced by various factors such as his view of the incident, appeals from players or the crowd; surely the point of reviewing is to provide an impartial, unaffected decision. Whilst there was contact I can't believe that anyone watching that replay thought it was a penalty. Surely that's all that should matter?

Please let me stress that I'm not arguing with you, I agree that your assesment of the situation is correct.

if it's down to "interpretation" they'll go with the original decision. They are looking for cast-iron proof. And, like I said, you can only be 95% certain that contact didn't make Young go down.

For years there's been the suggestion that little teams can't get a break at Old Trafford. As you say, people will overlook the things that go against them but when a blatant penalty isn't given in the 90th minute of a match that "could decide the title", it adds fuel to the fire.

More new blood on here is a good thing
There seems to be far fewer posters than 6 months ago.

Can't make Brizzle sadly
It was based entirely on the hope of persuading the missus that she wanted to visit her sister, not happening.

How do you rate your chances of playing Premiership football next year? "Better than yours" is not a viable answer.

In fairness, that's how he rates his girlfriend, and his chances of getting laid tonight.

I assume you mean Rickie Lambert
rather than the Norwich manager. We'll do Reading up a kipper next week mate. You're welcome.

That's the fella. Thank you in advance.
There is always one team that starts well and fades. It looks like that's us this season.

Could be worse mate
You could be a Man City fan.

Makes a lot of sense.
There's almost light at the end of the tunnel for me, this is my last month in debt to a company, my first overdraft will be cleared by the end of July (if not sooner), then I've simply got one overdraft to go!

Excellent stuff!
How long to clear the other one then?

I'm not sure yet, when the first one is cleared I'm going to go and speak to one of the managers at the Macc branch
Spoken to her in the past, she's very friendly, and very helpful. Going to try to hammer out a deal, see whether I can reduce it at about £50 per month, if not more. If I can, I'll be clear soon enough!

Good fiscal planning for one so young.
I was a nightmare with money when I was your age.

That nightmare happened to me halfway through last year
After repayments, etc, I couldn't even afford the rent. A friend sorted me out, on the condition that I paid her back no matter what. That gave me the kick up the arse I so badly needed, I paid her back, sorted myself out, accepted that it's going to be quiet for a few months for me, and am getting myself back on my feet.

So glad she helped me out though, don't know what I'd have done.

The other upside is that I'm downgrading my phone contract in a month, so that'll save me a fair amount of cash in the long run.
